|? The industry has changed to intensive management.
The most direct impact on the cold chain logistics industry is that the imported fresh cold chain is "toxic", which in turn leads to a blow to consumer confidence and a large number of imported fresh products are unsalable.
In this regard, Zhang Signature, Vice President of Urban Logistics Branch of China Communications and Transportation Association and Food Logistics Professional Committee of China Food Industry Association, said that the cold chain is not so contagious, and the key transmission route is between people, so the main responsibility cannot be completely attributed to the cold chain.
The second peak of foreign epidemic situation has caused more difficulties to international cold chain logistics, and it is difficult to control the whole process-the first line of defense for overseas frozen food to enter China is customs. Is it at the entrance? Registration license ""? Under the protection of Mishima Pass, the strict inspection of imported food is needless to say.
However, the increase of operation links also means the increase of pollution risk.
In this regard, China Federation of Things Cold Chain Committee suggested that under the epidemic situation, in order to strengthen the safety protection of cold chain logistics process, intensive management should be promoted, especially the overall guarantee should be operated as a unit to reduce the contact between people in all links.
|? There is still room for demand in the market
At present, the cold chain logistics market has the potential risk of being polluted by COVID-19, and the market demand is exploding.
It is understood that the transaction volume of cold chain logistics is increasing at an annual rate of 20%. According to public data, compared with 20 14 years, the total demand of cold chain in China market increased by 153% in 20 19 years. In 2020, the market scale of China cold chain logistics industry will reach 500 billion yuan.
In addition to SF, Ali, JD.COM, Suning and other giants competing for the cold chain market, the number of cold chain logistics enterprises registered as latecomers is also growing rapidly.
At the same time, national policies continue to give strength. 20 17-2020 Document No.1 of the Central Committee clearly strengthens the construction of cold chain logistics system for agricultural products. In July this year, the National Development and Reform Commission announced the list of 17 national backbone cold chain logistics bases.
It is worth noting that although the demand for cold chain in the domestic market is growing rapidly, there is still a huge gap compared with the technical level of fresh cold chain in Europe and America.
It is reported that at present, the cold chain circulation rates of fruits and vegetables, meat and aquatic products in China are only 5%, 15% and 23% respectively, and the existing logistics refrigeration capacity can only meet the demand of 20% to 30%, and about 90% of meat, 80% of aquatic products, a large number of dairy products and bean products are not met.
In addition, at present, China's cold chain refrigeration equipment is in a state of insufficient supply and oversupply.
Hong Tao, director of the Institute of Business Economics of Beijing Technology and Business University, said that at present, China's cold chain industry lacks resources, but lacks integration. At least the utilization rate of existing resources should be raised to more than 50%, and then new construction should be carried out, so as to form a virtuous circle.
|? The core of the cold chain is not "cold"
In addition to the urgent need for resource integration in the cold chain industry, the cold chain technology itself also needs further transformation. Zhang Signature said that from the perspective of refrigeration science, the technical core of cold chain logistics is not completely "cold", but "constant temperature", that is, controlling the temperature within a certain range.
Generally, it can be divided into cryogenic (below -25℃), frozen (-18℃), refrigerated (-10℃), constant temperature (18℃), normal temperature and other different temperature zones, and different products need different storage temperatures. Therefore, the more accurate statement of cold chain is actually a temperature-controlled supply chain, which is the management of goods circulation process under appropriate temperature and humidity control.
This also reflects the technical and differences of the cold chain. At present, some cold chain transportation, no matter what goods are afraid of heat, uses a temperature to control the temperature, not to mention the length and speed of the transit time, and can not achieve real cold chain service.
Nowadays, some enterprises have begun to pay attention to this problem. In addition to pre-cooling, automatic refrigeration and setting temperature zones in the controlled production area during the whole process from cold chain transportation to terminal distribution, they have also transformed and developed a number of urban cold chain logistics distribution equipment suitable for express delivery industry.
In terms of service means, enterprises are also exploring various new models. For example, according to the special needs of customers, cold chain goods with special needs are specially packaged after delivery, and the temperature of the goods can be closely monitored from delivery to delivery.
The epidemic brought crisis to the whole society, but at the same time, it also exposed and highlighted more problems of cold chain logistics, forcing all links to rethink and examine.
For cold chain logistics, the "cake" is very big, and the dividend period has just begun. It also needs the joint efforts of the government, industrial companies, logistics companies and Internet companies.
